“You Can’t Be Mine”

A Sonnet by

Janelle Palma

Your beautiful face and wavy soft hair

Those luscious eyes where my safe haven lies

The angels are singing when you are near

You taught me how to feel the butterflies

Amenity I feel in your warm arms

My love, satisfaction, and pleasure comes

Oh, my love, I am a fool for your charms

Let me feel this until the right time comes

Wishing and praying this feeling would last

Hoping that you and me in the altar

But faith smirks suddenly gave its last

A Goodbye, I can’t say, I can’t utter

If the world changes, I will take chances

I'll do everything, just give me a chance.
